Tony grew up from humble beginnings in the railroad town of Brunswick, Maryland. Shortly after graduating from Johns Hopkins University as a pre-medical student — as he was living out of his van while bartending and waiting tables — Tony was introduced to the insurance industry by a friend. His bold decision to switch careers was soon prosperous when he became a top insurance sales agent for several years. Tony later met his wife, Kathy, in the industry and together they started the Holland Insurance Group, LLC, in 2000, and Global Premier Benefits, LLC, in 2009. Kathy is the CFO of the two companies.
Tony and Kathy have three amazing children. They enjoy living a healthy lifestyle and being active — from avid running, weight training and cross-fit, to disciplined dieting. Tony is passionate about giving back to his community and has spent many years coaching high school and youth football. Both Tony and Kathy are involved in numerous philanthropic endeavors.
